4.  With the end mill continuing 

to cut, turn the rotary table 
handwheel clockwise 23 full 
turns (92°), using care not to 
pass the handwheel scale 0° 
mark on the last turn.

5.  Raise the end mill from the 

workpiece, then rotate the 
handwheel clockwise 45 full 
turns (180°), making sure not 
to pass the 0° mark. This will 
bring the cutter to the starting 
point of the second slot.

note: Rotating the rotary table in 

only one direction throughout 
the operation will remove any 
error from backlash.

6.  Make a 0.083" deep hole, then 

with the end mill continuing

turns to begin the second 92° 
slot.

7.  Raise the end mill, rotate the 

rotary table clockwise back to 
the 0° mark on the rotational 
scale, then take an additional 
0.083" deep cut.

8.  Repeat Steps 4–7, increasing 

the depth of cut by 0.083" each 
time, until the final depth of cut 
is reached for each slot.
